Fast forward to 2004, it is just before England v France at the Millennium
Stadium, an important European Championship qualifier game. David Beckham
goes into the English changing room to find all his team mates looking a bit
glum. "What's up?" he asks. "Well, we're having trouble getting motivated
for this game. We know it's important but it's only France. They're **** and we can't be bothered"

Beckham looks at them and says "Well, I reckon I can beat these by myself,
you lads go down the pub." So David Beckham goes out to play France by
himself and the rest of the England team go off for a few jars. After a few
pints they wonder how the game is going, so get the landlord to put the
teletext on.

A big cheer goes up as the screen reads "England 1 - France 0 (D. Beckham 10
minutes)"
He is beating France all by himself! Anyway, a few more pints later and the
game is forgotten until someone remembers "It must be full time now, let's
see how he got on" They put the teletext on

"Result from the Millennium Stadium : England 1 (D. Beckham 10 minutes) -
France 1 (Z. Zidane 89 minutes). They can't believe it, he has single
handedly got a draw against France!! They rush back to the
Stadium to congratulate him. They find him in the dressing room, still in
his kit, sat with his head in his hands. He refuses to look at them. "I've
let you down, I've let you down" he said bitterly.

"Don't be daft, you got a draw against France, all by yourself. And they
only scored at the very very end!" was the reply from his team mates. "No,
No, I have, I've let you down. I got sent off after 12 minutes!!!!!!
